A Cannon, Csjvtein comicpnding Fnrn. at Potereburg, Va., fer a c ? f* j u I the Baltimore American of the ah* ) of the Philadelphia Inquirer of the 14ri» mat. The Inquirer contains the New York Her aid's correspondent’s account of the fi l? f at tack of the Montauk, the burning of tho Na.ihvilie, and of the subsequent attack of the three iron clads and mortar b~*t? on Fort McAllister. The account is too ieng for our columns, but is interesting for its minuteness as for its falsehoods The r i. ter labors 10 convince his readers ot the wonderful power and invulnerability of the iron clads, and also that they could, in the course of time, have demolished oor little earth fort if they had consider, and iti destruction worth the ammunition it would cost. He has to admit, however, tho ctcel lcnt gunnery of our garrison and that the Montouk did not escape without some seri ous injury. He relates that in the first en counter the Montauk was hit- by our projec tiles forty-eight times, and that her sides, tur rv.fcanddspk were considerably torn and den ted. One shot from the fort struck the pHot house. The writer has a very vivid recol lection of the circumstances, which he thus describes. “About half past eight o'clock our pilot house was hit a tremendous blow by a shot. Your correspondent was, at the instant of impact, on one kuee, writing a paragraph in his note book. The shock wasaomewhat severe, aud afterwards he found that the shot had .struck l *close io his head. “It unbalanced me, and I tumbled over against the side of the narrow pilot house, when, to my surprise, I was struck by a piece of iron bolt with the nut attached, (weighing about one pound,) first on the shoulder and then on the knee. Some of the. other bolts were knocked, out. The iror. was, no doubt, of an inferior quality, aud had they been of the same character as those in the turrect such an event would not have taken place. In view of such an accident, and suffering from the shock, I left the pilot house. I feel satisfied that the pilot house is as strong as any part of the vessel, but the bolts will have to be pro tected from flying inwards, which can be done in a few hours. The remainder of xny experience of the engagement is written from notes taken below deck.” The writer gives his experience b low decks, which goes to confirm the- opir/i.vA heretofore expressed by us that the interior of these Yankee iron-safes is a very uncom fortable place in action, and that tha con cussion from heavy missiles striking thier iron turrets has a stunning, almost paralys ing, effect upon the men pent, up ia teem. He says— The sensation below decks was far differ ent from that which I bad experienced in the pilot house on Tuesday last fox hours and a half, and the two hours of to day. The sound of our own guns wan more acute and unpleasant j and well it might be, when it is taken into consideration that the whole volume of sound from the dis charge of each gun passed directly over and within a few inches of our heads, and concussion passing in the system through the brain, by the top of the head. I can not say that it was painful, but it was far fiom pleasant, and, in addition to this, yuu were scarcely ever able lo hear the word of command when the guns were fired. To hear the officers say “Are you ready “Fire!” takes off much of the unpleasant ness of the shock, but below you do not have the warning. Our duel waged with great warmth and without much variance in character lor 9ome time. Finally, to me, it was quietly and materially changed. It was just six minutes past eleven o’clock. I was standing in the wardroom, and in con versation with Dr. Drayton, when a most terrific blow was struck upon our deck pla ting, directly over my head. I was driven with much force into a chair, and my whole muscular system seemed, for about two min utes, perfectly paralyzed. I was faint, and could scarcely obtain my breath. I never experienced such an unpleasant Bensation in the whole course of my life. It. was a heavy shock to my whole system. In fact it ex ceeded my experience in the pilot house, I thought I done wrODgin quitting it. And while absorbed in such thoughts, slam came another shot, but, fortunately for me at least, about six feet away from where the first oue struck. Weak as I was this again gave rue another shock, and I was forced to say, “That was the unkindestcutofall.” I soon recovered from the intense pain I suf fered aud resumed my notes, but was con tinually in apprehension of having the dose repeated. Fortunately, however, it was not Shortly afterwards, Mr. Browne, oar pay master, who took my place in the pilot houses, came in the wardroom and reported that it had been hit again, and quite a num ber of the bolts broken off and flung violent ly across the pilot house, narrowly escaping Dorry, the Quartermaster, and himself. So ; I was thankful that I was not there, for with so many in this little coop somebody would have been hit. Another writer, describing the porior mances of the Montauk, says the crew “ex perienced many difficulties,’' and add* : ‘‘The turret, weighing one hundred and sixty tons, is, as you know, keyed up from below, and its weight supported on a shaft; after Continued firing it sagged somewhat, and considerable trouble was encountered ia keeping up so that it would r«T3i?« oasi- and Ti»c from the guns came back through tt,c c kolcs in the pilot bcusc, sc this Hfiftct* of practice could not be ©b- fht big gva fills up its pert hole f i it cGul i not be sighted, except by she inoh” alongside of it, which ia gunnery.

Some means Hu - ,3 devised for handing the enormous pro,-o :.fa, w-ighing upwards of four hun lift*. ultvl^. of ike* writer* go far to establish the fact that the Y’ankee iron-olads are almost untenable, and that although their iron turrets are capable of resisting for a time the shot from one or two guns, the bruadsidca of heavy guns such as they will encounter in Charleston harbor will soon disable them, and that for the practical pur poses of ships-©f-war they are failures. The Herald writer gives am account of the heroic achievement of the destruction of the Nashville, which would occupy two col umns ot ©ur paper. The writer says, “while withdrawing from the action (?) we passed over three torpedoes, one of which exploded directly* under cur boiler, raising the vessel up bodily and slewing her around I The sensation was of course a very peculiar one, and for a time we could not realize that we had been hit by an infernal machine. It started a little leak, but nothing to speak of as it was repaired in a few minutes.” A very probable story. The writer had proba bly not recovered from his fright and ex perienced another “heavy shock,” which esused him to imagine that an infernal ma chine was after him. The correspondent relates that during the action between the iron-clads and the fort, on the 'Jd, “Captain Drayton, of the Passaic, and Lieut. Commander Miller, were oh deck looking at the firing. A piece of something hit the Captan under one of his eyeo, and he went inside the turret. A couple of rebel soldiers taking advantage of the exposure of the officers on the iron-clads, fired at Mr. Miller, the ball just grazing him Os course he deemed it prudent to seek shelter inside, and did so. Mr. Rufua Murray, our brave and skilful pilot, obtained a rifle and drawing an unerring aim upon the would be guerillas, fired, killing his mao. The other ecaxup skedaddled in shoit order, probably crawling ou Li« hands and knees through the marsh. Subsequently a dose of canister was givefl them, frhich ended that kind of work.” Tbs brovc Yankee pilot’s achieve ment will be news to our boys. Speculation. That the desire on the part of thousands to take advantage of the necessities of the war, and amass wealth through the medium of a dishonorable speculation, is producing much harm to our cause and people, must be apparent to every honest mind. Men and women who were our warmest supporters at the rofnraenceiQsnt cf the war, and have so continued up to the present time, are now In & measure, our worst enemies. They are frequently heard to speak in the most disre spectful terms o{ the Government and war, avowing at the sime time, their perfect will ingn?3B for peace upon any terms that will bring it about. Such a feeling is indeed to be much deplored and feared by the truly patriotic This is more especially so, when it is to Is traced to the wicked and heaven damning principle of a selfish and unjust speculation on the part of our own people buying up the prime necessaries of life in large quantities, and then storing them away for higher prices. We have nn objections to fair and legitimate speculation in trade.— Un the other hand, we it to be ne cessary to the vital existence of all business. When, however, mm* make use of their means in such a manner as to entail distress upon the poor and needy, and thou«ands of, those poor are engaged in fighting the battles of our country, then should the strong arm of a stringent Georgia law be brought to bear upon their avaricious desires. When last year's crop was gathered the erv of an abundantyield greeted us on every hand. Now, when we have but scarcely en tered upon the duties and labors of the pre sent one, the whole order of things is re versed, and We are told by speculators that the supply is not equal to the demand. — What eupply, however large, would be equal to the demand when it is purchased and stored away in the garrets and cellars of men whose god is gold, and whose souls arc as destitute of patriotism as the gold they wor ship? It is jahcl There ia plenty—the greatest plenty for naan and beast, if there was only hoaesty enough to offer it for sale at a fair and remunerating price. We sincerely trust that Gov. Brown and his wise coadjutors —the legislators of treorgia —will interpose an effectual remedial agent. The poor of our country, and the future welfare of the Confederacy, demands that the present spark of want and dissatisfaction be smothered ere it attain the brilliancy of ablaze.

It appears that tl.e nfT«tr originated in the outrage of a little white orphtn girl bv a big negro named Faulkner. On the arrest of the negro, a large and excited mob gath erv.i with rh*» intention of executing lynch law on the biack scoundrel, but they w->r«» deterred by a protest guard ordered out to escort the prisoner to jad. After the pri saner wjl# safely locked up, it is add that several random shots were fired.into the mob by the provoat guard, several of them taking effect, and one man, Charles Langier, bring instantly killed, shot through the head.— The scene that followed ia thu* described by the Detroit Free Pres*: The cry of death and vengeance ran through the crowds like an electric shock.— Ihe sight ot the bleeding corps of the dead man, and the groans of a half dozen, who were wounded, kindled cnew the flames of insubordination and The Germain, especially, were maddened bevond descrip tion, because their countrymen had been sacrificed, as they thought and expressed it, to protect a negro who was deserving tor ture aud death. The excitement among all j olasses, however, was intense. Being baf fled in this attempt to rescue the criminal, they sought other channels to give vent to their malice. The first bouse where a negro family re sided one end ot which was used as a cooper shop, situated on Beaublen street, was as sailed with bricks, paving stones and clubs. About a dozen negroes were at work in the shop or stepping at the house at the time. J he most ot thpm were armed and fired sev era! shots into the crowd from the windows, taking ©fleet iu reverai instances, but not fatally injuring any one so far a* could be ascertained As each shot from the negro hovel rever berated through the vicinity, the fiendish ness of the mob became more manifest aud their desperation more dreadful. The fire arras in possession of the negroes deterred them from entering, for it would have been almost oertain death for any man to attempt it. Any missile that could be obtained was hurled at the rendezvous of the negroes, the windows and doors burst open, and every thing destroyed which could be seen by those outside. Finally, finding that they could not be forced out of their hiding place iu any other manner, the match of the incendiary was placed at one end of the building, and in a ; very short time the flames spread so aa to j envelop almost the entire building. The j scene at this time was one that utterly baf fles description. With the building a perfect sheet of livid flame, and outside a crowd of blood-thirsty rioters, some o£ whom were standing at the door with revolvers in their bands, waiting for their victims to appear,it was a truly pitia ble and sickening sight The poor wretches inside were almost frantip with fright, un decided whether to remain and die by means of tkp devouring element, or suffer the almost, terrible fate whioh awaited them j at the hands of the merciless crowd. There 1 was no mere mercy extended to the suffer ing creatures than would h?*ve bren shown j to a rattlesnake. No tears cou’d move, no supplications a?:su£:g? the awful frenr.yandi demoniacal spirit of revenge which had ta- * ken possession of that mass of people. One j eoloyed woman made her appearance &L the I door with a little chiid in her arms, appeal ed to the mob for mercy. The monstrous ; fact must be told, her tearful appeals were ( met with a shower of bricks, stones and, clubs, driviog herself and the babe in her arms back into tho burning building. At this juneture one man, moved to mer cy at this cowardly and inhuman act, rushed | to her assistance, bravely and nobly protect- l ing her person from the violence which i threatened her. But the negroes found no such protection. They were driven grad- 1 ually to the windows and doors, where they i were murderously assailed with every ape- j cies of weapons, including axes, spades and j clubs, and everything which could be used j as a means of attack. The frightened ere»-! tures were almost as innane from fright as their persecutors were with madness. As * they came out they were beaten and bruised in a terrible manuer, their shrieks andjgroana l only inciting the mob to further exertions iu their brutal work. Several of them were j knocked down with axes and left for dead, but who afterwards recovered only to be } agaiu set upoD and cruelly beaten to inseu- • pibility. | The scenes which followed wire of a simi lar nature. Old men eighty years of age, j were not in the least respected, but knocked down with the same fiendish vindictiveness which characterized all the other proceed ings of the day. After the first building had beeu reduced to ashes, the appetite for arson had only been whetted, and not at all appeased. As night approached they grew bolder, and did not scruple to commit the worst crimes upon the calender with perfect impunity. The houses of Lafayette street, between Beaubien and St. Antoine, were literally sacked of their contents, and their furniture piled in the middle of the street and burned. Amontr the articles constituting the bonfire, ‘ a large number of musical instruments could be discovered —bass viola, violin*, banjos, j guitars, aecordeons, and almost every musi cal instrument in existence. Feather beds were ripped open and the contents scattered over the streets, and everything valuable totally destroyed- Then, . not iatUiad with fcariag destroyed tvery i VOLUME XLI-NO 3 reM /G* of furniture, the torch t?.« pri-V: ***Jtlt t ( aoct ajftTjy *'c "hc'.f- cf *“ e b.ock 03 both sides of the e*r*» >A l-rciled to th« ground.

The mention of the latter gentlemai • name elicited loud cheers. Hi* Lordship proceeded to say, alluding to Mr. AI that, although he could not greet that goo tleman as a recognised plenipotentiary to this oountry, he was perfectly justified by virtue of his position as chief Magistrate of the city of London, to offer him. and to all gentlemen who came to this country * t , j«, important public business, a hearty w 1 n in bis official residence.
